For those of you calling him RW3, its not a legit nickname....kinda actually sounds like he is a wannabe RG3...hawk fans are better than that. There is no "III" in his name and why would you name him after another rookie. His nickname is DangeRuss, if that is too difficult to type just go with RW. RW is actually one less character to type.

Until we develop a pass rush that will cause opposing teams to be forced to scheme to defend it we will never be able to consistently take the final step. The interior rush needs improvement. The OLine clearly still needs work.

I just don't like it, if he likes he can have it. I don't begrudge him one, it is just my opinion. I just won't use it when referring to him. I just don't like nicknames in general, the only reason I use one a forum is because I don't want to use my real name. *shrug*

Question: Are we still calling Thurmond WT3? He was around before RGIII

Rather than some cute/stupid nickname, I'd rather see his legend rise to one-name recognition status, and just be good with that. Hopefully he achieves that lofty status and joins these "only last name needed" QB's... Meaning if any NFL fan said "Wilson", you'd would know who they meant...

Of course "Manning" deserves to be on that list, along with some others, but Eli screwed that up! lol

While DangeRuss is okay, I also prefer the last name approach. As for a nickname, I'm sticking with "Will It" Wilson. Rolls off the tongue, it's unique, not derivative, and indicative of Wilson's ability to WILL the Seahawks to WIN!
